Although the building has different dimensions in the parking levels and in the office
levels, the dimensions of the office levels will be used throughout all the building for
conservative calculatations. Floor loadings will be assumed depending on the floor
materials and general use:

Dead (psf) Office

 Composite metal deck 42
Garage
One-way reinforced concrete 75
CMEP
Acoustic fiber board
10
MEP component
Office Floor
Terrazo 5
Marble 33
Roofing
Insulation + Waterproof 10
Office 50 + 15 (per partitions)
Live (psf) Parking 40
Lobbies 100

For typical floor:

w total=1.2 D+ 1.6 L=1.2 ( 42+10+5+10 ) +1.6 ( 50+15 ) =0.1844 kips/ ft 2
w=5034.12 kip

For lobby level:

w total=1.2 D+ 1.6 L=1.2 ( 42+10+33+10 ) +1.6 ( 100 )=0.274 kips/ ft 2
w=7480.2 kip

For parking levels:

w total=1.2 D+ 1.6 L=1.2 ( 75+10 )+ 1.6 ( 40 )=0.166 kips/ft 2
w=4531.8 kip

The approximate period will be, using Table 12.8-2:

T a=C t hnx

where C t = 0.02
h n = height of building
x = 0.75
